I am replacing an existing handle and need to know the distance from bottom large hole to small screw hole at bottom of handle.
The standard center to center measurement for handlesets is a 5.5" spread

Welcoming and warm, the Gibson features a soft, oval design - a pleasing addition to any entrance door. Bottom Spring Latch is retracted by a thumbpiece on the exterior and lever/knob grip from the interior, except when both are locked by a key from the exterior or turnbutton from the interior. The upper Deadbolt is operated by a key from the exterior or thumbturn from the interior. Equipped with the new SmartKey technology, this handleset is the perfect choice to protect your home or business. This is the exterior portion of a Kwikset Handleset. In order to have a full handleset, you must also select the interior pack. As you proceed to the cart, you will be prompted with all the compatible interior packs made by Kwikset. You will not be able to use this handleset without an interior pack.
